How InfoGazelle started their logo design journey

Company name

InfoGazelle

Overview

I come from a background in strategy consulting research... I help teams research all the aspects of their competitive markets. I do this by going beyond the basic competitors.... seeking to understand underlying market forces, as well as the customer.
I also design and deliver training programs centered around conducting business research - online search, database search, and the research "process."

I use specialized business research tools along with my years (10+!) of business research experience. I do this more efficiently than most successful business people can (they have businesses to run!), and the specialized resources bring value that exceed what can be gleaned from web searching alone. In a recent project I created a market profile the US Window Film Market!

Another component of this business is providing in-house (or virtual) training programs and seminars on how to conduct company/industry research, using specialized on- and off-line tools, as well as the Web.

Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach

Audience - successful business owners, business strategy professionals, investment firm professionals, and biotech/pharmaceutical executives. These are people who need insight to a market quickly... I could be seen as a "personal shopper" for their industry research needs.... providing the most salient, timely information, in an efficient manner.

Requirements

I am looking for a logo represent my research business, InfoGazelle

I would love to incorporate a stylized gazelle - but probably more of a hint of gazelle than a fleshed out detailed image... perhaps including the head, and not the full body... (unless super simple/outline-like)

I would like it clean, with a hint of playfulness (as to say: this is a company with personality, people you want to work with)

I have attached images of logos I like.

Please feel free to experiment with colors, however, I tend to prefer earth tones and not so much bright/harsh tones.
